Azcentral.com's Doug Haller reports that Arizona State S Alden Darby has worked out for the Patriots, Falcons, Chargers and has the Raiders on deck.

The 5-foot-10, 192 pound safety is a versatile player who played both cornerback and safety for the Sun Devils. Darby could also be a special-teams contributor at the next level, as he played on the punt and kick-off units. If a team is looking for a guy with good locker room presence, Darby was a captain for the Sun Devils. Most importantly, he earned the right to wear former Arizona State LB Pat Tillman's No. 42 during practice, which is a huge honor for the Sun Devils program. Wed, Apr 30, 2014 02:51:00 PM

The Patriots put Arizona State S Alden Darby through a private workout.

Darby attended East-West Shrine week and intercepted two passes in the actual game, which followed his All-Pac 12 selection by conference coaches. The Patriots have surprised many with their safety selections in recent years, and Darby could be the next one on the list. Tue, Mar 18, 2014 10:00:00 AM

Darby "took advantage" of quarterbacks Jeff Mathews and Jordan Lynch "not looking him off" by intercepting the East QBs once apiece, according to ESPN's Steve Muench. He collected 14 yards in INT returns. "Darby has been a vocal leader, shown good awareness in coverage and was able to get downhill and make solid contact all week," wrote Muench. Darby, who overcame a rough childhood to become a collegiate star, tallied 66 tackles, two interceptions and eight passes broken up to earn All-Pac 12 First Team honors last season.
